Good Book

A very good book for every Chinese medicine student or practitioner. It gives different and useful perspectives on points, and the meridian charts are very clear and helps foster a good visual perception of the meridians.

A must book for students and practitioners.

In my opinion, this book should be a must book for all students of Chinese medicine. If they want to be taken seriously, this is one of the books that they should start with.
